LEGO have given us two brand new seasonal sets in time for Easter!
These new themed sets are polybagged and are adorable!
The first of the two is the Duck with Ducklings, which features a white mother duck and her tiny ducklings, three of which are yellow, the other is beige (this is me just speculating, but a possible reference to the ugly duckling?).
The second of the two sets is the Bunny and Chick, which allows you to build a small yellow chick hatching out of a LEGO egg and a little white bunny in a pen.
Both of these sets will make the perfect Easter gifts for fans of LEGO of all ages!

Next month will be the time to look out for the new Modular Buildings set, Town Hall.
This set makes a fantastic addition to a town/city layout and is so beautifully detailed with it’s columned entrance with crest, a balcony for the Mayor to address the citizens, and of course, the town clock.
The ground floor features a main hall, tax office and auditorium. On the second floor you can find the Mayor’s office and the secretary’s office. And finally, on the third floor of the building is a meeting room with house plants, a globe and a large conference table. A working elevator allows minifigures to get from one floor of the building to another with ease.
The upper part of the building features the year that the Town Hall was “built” in 1891. The bell tower looks great and fits in nicely with the style of the building and features a bench and maintenance ladder. Flower boxes sit on the windowsills with tiny red and yellow LEGO brick flowers. The roof of the building features a skylight which enables you to view the inside of the building.
Eight minifigures are in this set, including The Mayor, Secretary, Bride and Groom, Press Woman, Janitor and two Children.
This fantastic set is due out on the 1st March 2012, so keep your eyes peeled!
New to the LEGO Kingdoms theme is the fantastic Kingdoms Joust!
This set includes a phenomenal amount of detail, from the six roomed castle to the jousting arena. The castle features an archway between the two towers, and includes linked wall extensions off the main structure. The rooftops of the towers are a brilliant red and the lattice windows are a nice touch.
The royal viewing box includes a lion shield on the front and is perfect for the King and Queen minifigures to view the joust.
There are a total of nine minifigures in this set: King, Queen, Princess, Lion Knight, Falcon Knight, Young Squire, Nobleman and two Soldiers. Each Knight’s horse and beautifully detailed, with the decoration of the corresponding Knight. Armoured headgear is also included for each Knight.
This charming set will make a wonderful addition to your LEGO Kingdoms collection.
The fantastically popular Minecraft is to take the form of LEGO this Summer, fans will be please to know!
The set, Minecraft Micro World features two “Micro Mobs”, Steve and Creeper. The story behind the set is that Steve lands on a strange world and have to mine for resources in order to survive. He must avoid the Creeper at all costs.
You can build mines, hills, rivers and all sorts of resources, as creation is key in this set. Minecraft Micro World is supposed to be “designed to celebrate the essence of the LEGO concept and the Minecraft gaming experience”. Basically, anything is possible. Creation is key in both Minecraft and LEGO, and the builder can build his or her creation in any way he/she desires.
You get four vignettes that can be all connected together and the surface of the modules can be removed to reveal hidden resources beneath.
Fans of the hugely successful Minecraft game and LEGO alike will love this one, so watch out for it’s release later this year.
There have been various sets released to the LEGO City theme recently. The one that I think really stands out is the Forest Police Station.
This spectacular building is wonderfully detailed and includes features like a watch tower, a satellite dish on top of the main building and a safe for those minifigures to store any belongings safely. Also included is a helicopter, which is perfect for finding those pesky robbers on their quad bike and a police van to capture them.
Five minifigures are in this set: two forest policemen, two robbers and a pilot for the helicopter. Also there is a bear animal figure included.
This set would make a wonderful forest-themed addition to any LEGO City collection.
